Ingredients for Biggest Loser Fish Tacos

  • Fish Fillets
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • Paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Ground Black Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 8 small corn or flour tortillas
  • Avocado
  • Cheese
  • Salsa (optional)
  • Fresh Cilantro
  • Cabbage
  • Hot Sauce

How to Make Biggest Loser Fish Tacos

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the tilapia fillets with 1 tablespoon of lime juice, 1 teaspoon of chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon of cumin, 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (adjust to your spice preference!), 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated tilapia and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
  3. While the fish cooks, prepare the cabbage slaw: In a separate bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 1 tablespoon of lime juice, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Warm the tortillas according to package directions.
  5. Assemble the tacos: Place the cooked tilapia in each tortilla, top with the cabbage slaw, and a dollop of your favorite salsa (optional).
  6. Garnish with extra cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
